Before I buy: What do notes look like?

[csmeder]

Can some kind person upload some screen shots of class notes. You can fake them if you don't have any class notes.

Does any one draw/sketch on their Iliad? Would you upload some screen shots.

On a likert scale of 1-10:
I like taking notes on paper: ......................1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I like taking notes on iliad with the pen:.......1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I like taking notes on iliad with a keyboard:...1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The reason I ask is if I buy one it would be mostly for taking notes, instead of using a paper note book. And I like to draw, so sketching would be a plus.


Thanks,
Chris

See attached shots. The first two are scribbled directly onto the PDF handouts of a lecture. The third one is not directly a class note but the concept for a seminar thesis I have to write (this one is in german), and last but not least some drawings...

Please note that my handwriting is horrible, so don't blame the iLiad . I acutally got a D in primary school for my handwriting...

Edit: I like taking notes on paper: 6
I like taking notes on iliad with the pen: 8
I like taking notes on iliad with a keyboard: 3

I like taking notes on paper: 5
I like taking notes on iliad with the pen: 8
I like taking notes on iliad with a keyboard: 1

I'd give the 3rd option a 0, if that was a choice.

iLiad note-taking is especially good for left-handers, as we don't notice any pen lag - we don't see the letters if we write on paper anyway.

I take all class notes on the iLiad. I highly advise to buy a wacom executive pen. The default stylus is just to small to be comfortable to use a longer time.

Technical scetching works pretty well. Artistic (pencil sketching) not, because it doesn't recognize pressure or tilt, like you learned with classical pencils to modify thickness by tilt.

Here you have classnotes of me:

You scale I cannot answer, because i don't know, is 1 or 10 the best?

I used my iLiad for taking notes in lectures, and it worked really well but for one thing. If you use the standard notes page, it takes several seconds to create a new page when you need it, and if your lecturers talk as fast as mine, you'll miss something! I solved this by creating multiple-page pdf notebooks in OpenOffice.org, that way you can turn to a new page much quicker -- of course, they get full in the end, but so do paper ones!

Can these notes be downloaded to computer for printout, storage, or further editing and manipulation?

Once downloaded to computer, can optical character recognition software be used to convert them to editable text?

MyScript is good but cost money.
There's some ocr opensource that can make the work done (on pc obviously) free and works fine.

I'm using iLiad like a notetaker in many way and it work really fine... better, IMVHO, than the kindle (used only two time).

Notes are stored in PNG format and can be downloaded, printed out etc. For Notes in PDF files you need this tool to merge them to a PDF file.

That's O.K. I don't mind paying for a useful application.
